Chuck Mullin 
Bird Brain 

When Chuck Mullin began to suffer from anxiety and depression aged seventeen, she turned to drawing comics as a way to make sense of her experience. She soon found that pigeons were the perfect subjects through which to explore the complexities of living with mental illness, and several years later, her funny, quirky birds have won legions of fans online.



From Bad Times to Positivity, the comics in 
Bird Brain use humour to provide a glimpse of what’s going on in Chuck’s head: dissociative episodes; cycles of anxiety; her struggle to accept she’s not alone; and the power of optimism on the days it’s possible.

Chuck is a twenty-something Londoner who is full of anxiety and a love of pigeons. She likes to combine the two of these things into comics that depict life with mental illness. When she’s not doodling, she likes to read, and to whittle away her life playing Animal Crossing.
